I need to break up about 5m x 5m of concrete, varies in depth, seems to
be about 4" max.

I intend to do it over a few weeks, once the weather improves. Would
this be up to the job:

I intend to buy it, then sell on ebay once it's done.

4" max?Â* Easy job with a sledge hammer.


Big lever under edge to lift it off the ground a bit and hit it with a
sledge and it will break easily.

Don't lift it and the ground absorbs much of the energy and its harder
work.

Agreed but he's not going to lift a 5m x 5m slab (at least, not without
a 3 series JCB). OK to attack a half metre sized piece that way.
